Tales from the recently laid off, a personal journey – Why is Hamilton in my head? It is hard to believe that it has been two and half weeks since I learned that I was laid off. The initial shock has worn off, things are quieting down, the rush of “how can I help” has slowed and the inbox messages of “have you looked here” or “have you looked there” have decreased. I totally get it…people have lives and jobs to get back to and this journey is mine to own. So, why is Hamilton in my head? There is a scene in the play where Alexander Hamilton and Raymond Burr walk into a bar and Hamilton sings “I am NOT throwing away my shot.”  This song is on replay in my brain as every “shot” represents a new “opportunity” for me. Personally, every phone screen is an opportunity to gain insights about amazing companies in my industry. Every interview is an opportunity to expand my network. Every conversation is an opportunity to learn about a company’s culture. These are opportunities that I choose to pursue relentlessly as they will help guide me on my professional journey. I leave you with two questions: 1-     What is your anthem and how does it motivate you? 2-     Who needs an awesome technology partner/alliance manager? I am still on the market! #opportunity #hamilton #optimism #laidoff #fyp #anthem #grateful Roxanne Paulus Teran Canterbury Pam Latvala Owen McCorry Steve Riegel Tice Mays Laurence Rothman Liz Russell Mike Turcotte Lars Graae Rocky DeAngelis Stephanie Prettyman Christine Wolff Jen Gulling Amy Kieffer Lizzette (Liz) Nunez (She/Her/Ella) Paul Umansky Brian York Susan Ellison Tammy McMahon Ben Cook Greg Fadale Assad Noori Jill Howe Mark Zerbe Erikka Buracchio, PHR, CPC Amy Smith Delanie Olsen Kellee Kramer Renee Hilmi

It’s Friyeay, good people of the internet! And you know what that means: WINners' successes! Today, I have two stories with you that were shared last night on our Grads call. I hope you will find them as inspirational as I do! First one was from a WIN Grad who shared her joy in the 6-month secondment she had secured within her company in a different country. She absolutely loves her new team, she loves the work, she is doing much more interesting work - and a 32% pay rise to boot! What I celebrated with her and the other WINners, was not just these - objectively speaking awesome - results. What I just LOVE about this, is that she has conceived of this idea completely herself and then took the WIN steps to make it happen. What do we learn from this? You have agency. You can shape your life and your career. Don’t wait for others to do this for you. Go you, WINner! And another story that was shared last night - amongst many others! - came from a lady who has taken my rule that you should spend approx. 10% of your work time on sharing what you are capable of and what you have done with your colleagues, so that they can leverage that, to new heights. She calculated she has probably spent about 20% of her time increasing her visibility in her company, through thought leadership pieces, speaking and attending events etc. Yeay her! And yeay company. Because, team, le me tell you what one of the outcomes of all that work was - that the mother of all EVPs realised that she is perfect to do a very high profile redesign of the entire team. If that EVP hadn’t known she is capable of doing that, they would have missed out on her magic. So what is our second lesson of today? It is that you need to share what you’re capable of, and that doing that is great for everyone! Love, love, love when WINners realise their agency, realise they need to take control of their careers, do it and then enjoy the sweet, sweet results of those strategies! What are you celebrating today?

To any business owners in the thick of growth!

Here is an interesting take on people and hiring lessons from a straight shooting LinkedIn influencer. In this post he highlights how "successful owners have given their employees the framework on which to make decisions" and stresses the need to "give them the tools and stop making them guess". It is reflections like this that fuels my mission helping business owners implement a complete system (EOS), which develops a framework for leaders to make decisions, and empowers them with tools to succeed.

If there is one question I get asked the most in my role, it’s “How do I get into Social Impact/Corporate Social Responsibility?” There is no "one size fits" answer that will work for everyone. The common thread is to get familiar with the work before a role is open and network!
